Efforts include summer research experiences for 40 high school students annually; tutoring, faculty mentoring, research experiences and scholarships for 10 undergraduate students per year; and, eight graduate fellowships each year. To date, 146 (66%) of the undergraduate program participants have earned a baccalaureate degree; 12 earned a master's degree; 27 earned the Ph.D.; and, 26 remain enrolled in graduate programs.
